Allen is ranked 10th by Rang, Mayfield is 14th and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson is 15th.

Namath admitted to seeing his fair share of Mayfield’s games this past season, including the Sooners’ 54-48 double-overtime loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoffs. Mayfield completed 65.7 percent of his passes and threw for two touchdowns against the Bulldogs.

“Hey, it wasn’t just Georgia, it was a couple of years, early on, when I saw him play,” Namath said. “I saw him a couple of years back. I never saw him look bad. I don’t know how tall he is. I still don’t know big he is (6-foot-1). Size can be a major asset, yes, size can be an asset in today’s game. But Drew Brees, his size was questioned many times and he’s one of the greatest players who’s ever played.”

Mayfield passed for 4,627 yards and accounted for 48 touchdowns with just six interceptions while leading Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff last season.

While that that is impressive, Mayfield is also linked to some less-than-stellar moments.

Mayfield planted the Sooner flag at midfield after winning at Ohio State and taunted Kansas fans as well. Those actions were preceded by a Feb. 25 arrest in Fayetteville, Ark., on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and fleeing, which resulted in a plea deal.

As for the Jets, they signed quarterback Josh McCown to a one-year, $10 million deal in the offseason.

McCown, who turns 39 in July, is coming off one of his most productive seasons in 2017. He completed 67.3 percent of his passes, threw for a career-high 18 touchdowns with nine interceptions in 13 games before his season ended due to a broken left hand.
